After reading the reviews of this mist on Sephora, I learned that this is one of those products you have to shake really well before every application. After shaking the bottle a lot, I applied the mist (with eyes and lips tightly closed), and it works as promised. The finish is matte, and you get SPF 50 protection too. (This product can also be used as your last step for setting makeup).

This card case has the same material as the blue Sorial Wallet on a Chain from the November POPSUGAR Must Have box. (And it is lined with a paisley print). I don’t use card cases that often, but this one is well-made.

Here is the other side:

It also came with a coupon code (generic) for $25 off at ShopSorial.com. (Valid on orders of $25 or more, good through September 15th 2015).

I was happy to see that this bar is vegan and gluten free! (And it was pretty tasty too – not too sweet).

Hallmark Signature Cards

These are listed as a “special extra” on the info card, but they’re one of my favorite items in the box. Here are the three cards in my pack:

Never Ending Happy Card – Value $6.99

Blank Pineapple Card – Value $5.99

Floral Birthday Card – Value $4.99

These cards are all so beautiful! I think my favorite is the wedding card – I love the three-dimensional paper decorations.

Verdict: I think this is one of the more practical POPSUGAR Must Have boxes (AKA lots of travel items I will definitely use). Sometimes a practical box isn’t too exciting, but I think the Hallmark cards added a nice surprise/special element. And I’ll use everything (besides maybe the card case), so I’m happy with the contents this month.

The value this month is great too – about $130! What do you think of the July POPSUGAR Must Have box?

I haven’t received anything and I looked on the website yesterday and it said TBD and today is says processing,,,so i’m just waiting..it seems like so many other people have received theirs already!!! I know I didn’t have to wait this long last month,,,i have 5 subs and I’ve only received Walmart quarterly box…I haven’t even received my Allure and it says expected delivery date is 7/8…we are way past that at this point!!! I don’t know what is going on!! I’m patient,,so i’m just waiting!!

I’m in the same boat, today mine says processing. And I haven’t gotten my Allure box either, I called them yesterday and the lady said it was shipped and it should take about 11 business days. If I don’t have the Allure box by the end of the week she said to call back.

I’m so far pretty pleased with this box. The biggest surprise for me is the Supergoop Setting mist! It smells SO GOOD! Very minty, and I like the texture of it, after it dries (which is pretty quickly since it’s a fine mist.) I’m interested to see how it works as a makeup setting spray. 🙂

I did contact Sorial by email to inquire about the Gramercy wristlet, and they said it was currently out of stock, but they should have more in the next couple of weeks. 🙂

I saw that too. That wristlet was the only thing I really liked out of the collection too. :\ I’m a little irritated, and I will be even moreso if it suddenly returns after Sept. 15th, when the $25 code is no longer good.

I saw that they deleted the one thing I really liked. The Grammercy Wristlet. :\ I really liked the bright blue color and that it was so small. I’m not very fond of any of their other products, and the only other bright blue thing was the backpack, which I don’t really care for. I’m a bit miffed about that.

When I saw the review online, I was pretty sure that I would be swapping the entire box. Then I received it, and I totally love it. The Dopp kit was larger than I had imagined from the reviews. I love it. I thought I’d hate it. Everything else I am able to use. The only thing I dont really love are my greeting cards. The ones pictured above are adorable. Mine are just weird looking. There’s a bright florals one, covered in sequins that looks like wall paper from the 70’s. There’s another very minimalist one that looks unfinished to me, plain white with the word “cheers” embossed in block lettering. The third is grey with a laser cut, gold pattern on top of it. It’s clearly meant for a wedding. I have none coming up, but it should have use for that. Seriously though, I’m trading nothing this time.

Omg.. This is one of my all time fave PSMH boxes! I love everything! I really wanted the same cards that you received Liz, but tham I got toally diff ones that I love as well! The plaque “Hello Beautiful” is soooo fabulous.. i’m framing it and hanging it in my jewelry corner of my room. Between this and my Zoe boz.. July has been spoiling me! Love!!!

Just an FYI – Henri Bendel is offering a 20% off to new customers as well as what we’re getting in our box. So if someone likes the Dopp kit & can’t trade, you can buy it with either a pink or brown lining off the site for 20% off $28…not ideal, but an option! I think I’m going to get the larger one to match with the pink lining bc I travel so much & I carry a lot of stuff. I’m loving the way it opens up all the way. I haven’t seen it in person yet, so I don’t know. But I love pink!!

And I def might have to stop by Hallmark for those cute cards too!! I’m loving this box – perfect for my lifestyle 🙂

I’ve never swapped on here before and don’t think I have an account! 🙁 Is there anything in particular you’re looking for to trade for the Dopp kit? If you give me your email or Facebook, I can send you my Pinterest swap board? Thanks!

I am super happy with this box. I just received it today and I am going to use everything!!! The hallmark cards are going to vary.. I got the most beautiful cards ever!! One of which can be hung on the wall!!! I love it! I am really happy I resubscribed to PS!!! =)

Glad I looked at this closer–great box and I never expected it’d still be available! Just ordered! Only yesterday I was debating on getting that Supergoop to try, and I like those face wipes and the dopp kit (esp that it opens so wide).

I am extremely excited about this box!!! I can use everything in this box and absolutely LOVE the cards!!! I have to agree with some of the people I wish the print on the Dopp kit was a little more fun but I still like it.

The same thing happened to me. I don’t know why the shipping is so ridiculous.
I was going crazy avoiding spoilers this month so it felt like this box took forever to get to me. It is only my second box but it seems like the June box came really quickly. I definitely got it earlier in the month than I got this one.
Outside of that this box was really great. It didn’t have one item that really blew me away but I liked pretty much everything. Only things that garnered a “meh” were the Hallmark cards. I have sybs to Nicely Noted and CardNest so I am now spoiled when it comes to cards. I really didn’t like the ones I received – one actually looks pretty poorly made but that was all luck of the draw.

I like the box. It’s not as exciting as other boxes but everything is definitely useable. I signed up because overall they have one of the better boxes I’ve noticed. The only thing I’m not crazy about is it seems like one item now tends to be a gift card/coupon which is great only if you don’t have to spend more money.

I must be the only one who thinks that Dopp kit is ugly. Lol! I’m glad I resisted the urge to purchase. The only boxes I liked and purchased so far this year have been January and April. Loved both. Glad to see those that did purchase enjoy it though!

I am more than pleased with this box. I will probably put the spf spray up for swap and can’t imagine using the sorial gift card. It is really refreshing not to receive eye shadow or lipstick or blush for a change.
So glad I signed up again after I saw the HB spoiler.

I ordered a couple of boxes last year when they unloaded surplus, but I ordered this box for one time. I fell for the dopp kit as I was looking for one. I think I am cool with the box! Someone mentioned that she might use it as whistlet. For the size, I think I can put small wallet, cell, keys, lipstick and even sunglasses in soft case. That might work. I use two small bags when travelling by separating cosmetics and toiletries. So this size will be good for either.

However, I wish a few things were different. First, the Sorial gift card… they only have 9 items and we have to pay shipping. I wish the gift card was for HB and 20% off Sorial. I also wish the facial wipes are more of a higher end brand (not something we can find in drug stores) to give the box a more luxury feel. I think they used to send whole size snack and this is only one bar… I wasn’t sure about Hallmark cards, but they are nice, so I am ok with that.

I don’t have my box shipped yet, so I am undecided, but I may sell Sorial card holder and gift card all together. Please comment here if you would like to make an offer. I don’t buy enough boxes, so I am not on the swap board.

I haven’t got my shipping notice yet and probably won’t till days/weeks later since I did buy a one month gift subscription. (Those always seem to ship out last )
This box isn’t truly for me. I go back to college in a few days and none of it but the toothbrush will make it to the drive up to college. I don’t have a swap account on here but if anyone wants any of the other contents besides the toothbrush let me know. Prices can be determined later on. 🙂

Hey Marina! Are you from Helotes, TX? If so, I just friend-requested you on Facebook (Jennifer Lily)! Once you accept, I’ll be able to send you messages, and we can work something out for the bag! 🙂 Any idea how much you’d sell it for or if there’s anything you’d like to trade for it? I can send you pictures of new stuff (mostly makeup) I have to trade.

The dopp kit is currently on sale on the Henri bendel website in the brown and PINK! Super cute and for everyone saying they need the bigger size dopp kit they have one too. 🙂 Just a heads up. Its all 10% off today

I wasn’t too excited about this box after the spoilers came out (except for the dopp case) but after seeing your review I really like it!! I need a card case and was just about to swap for one so this will be really useful, plus I can always use greeting cards! The only item I may not use is the toothbrush—I have an electric brush at home and just bring along a regular toothbrush when I travel—so I may swap it. But overall, great box!

After seeing your review, I just signed up for this. I have been going back and forth even after seeing the spoilers, but your review pushed me over the edge. I’m so excited and can’t wait to get my first box.

The box is really cute and I am so excited for the cosmetic case! I don’t really plan on using the card case/ coupon and if anyone wants to swap with me let me know! I am going abroad at the end of the summer and I need to empty my stash of subscription box goodies!

This looks to be the best pop sugar box I’ve ever gotten. The HB makeup travel bag looks awesome, though a bit small. I actually need a new electric toothbrush, this week! I switched to manual 2 days ago and would love to just have a new electric one, wow. Or I could just replace the batteries in my old one and keep this new pretty one for travel. Le sigh
The sorial card case!!! Gorgeous. I love my blue sorial bag and they will go together great 🙂 the hallmark cards looks beautimous as well. The sunscreen also looks good, I’m glad in doesn’t have oxybenzone! And I like the yes to brand in general. What an amazing box! Can’t believe I’m getting all this for $40

I’m looking forward to getting my box this month. This is the first box I’ve liked and will actually use since April! Some people are upset because this box is practical but I’m not sure what else you would expect from a box that had an easy travel theme. I think they delivered on that. But then again, people also get upset when the boxes are impractical too so there really is no way for PopSugar to win… ever! 😀

The card case will be perfect in my sorial wallet! I agree those hallmark cards are beautiful. I will use everything but the setting spray, and even that will be swapped for something I can use!! Happy this month. Side note-I heard on NPR yesterday that hallmark is laying off a bunch of people.

I actually re-signed up for the box. For some reason I really want the sunscreen spray and I’m hoping I’ll be able to use the Sorial coupon to get myself a wristlet. I really want a new one. I hope they’re not sold out by the time I get my box.

But the other stuff is just so practical. The card kit is perfect to keep in my wristlet (old or new). I have a large dopp kit which I find very practical for traveling, but this small one may work well for my daughter who is at the age where she wants to bring her own stuff. And she loves face wipes, so she’ll get those too. I’ve never used an electric toothbrush, so I’m happy to finally get one. And the cards will be useful (OK, maybe not the wedding one, but the others).

I was just looking at the Sorial store and had thought that everything they sell is “vegan” leather – but that isn’t the case. I clicked on a Robina wristlet in a pretty beige color only to discover that it is REAL snakeskin. I’m not a super Eco person by any stretch – but does anybody know about their raw materials sourcing? This video from YouTube documents some snake sourcing – 7:40 is particularly heartbreaking – to literally hear a snake cry. I’m going to email the company to find out more.

I’m not trying to start anything, but wanted to share this with others as the snakeskin products are the cheaper in the Sorial line and lovely so many might gravitate towards them. And I know many PS subscribers are conscious of such issues.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a meat eater, I own a leather jacket and 2 pairs of leather boots. I think if you will use every part of that animal and kill them humanely (shudder, because how can killing be considered humane?) That being said, I would be the first one to go Vegan if I had to hunt/kill my own food. The suffering is just heartbreaking. And the truth is, unless you are buying straight from the butcher and you have seen the slaughter house (again, shudder) practices, then you really have no idea. Just like the “healthy” cat food that is being procured by foreign slaves out near Indonesia. We’d all starve to death if we really knew what was going on all over the world. Out of sight, out of mind. 7:55. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I debated posting this, and really don’t want to start a political/religious discussion BUT one of the reasons I keep kosher is that it is, in part, based on treating the animal humanely. It is still one of the most humane ways of raising/killing animals known to man. No, it’s not perfect — nothing is — and there have been kosher slaughterhouses that have been shut down (interestingly, more for inhumane treatment of workers than animals), but at least the animal’s welfare is taken into consideration.

Thank you for your thoughtful replies! I agree with everything you’ve all said. Supply chain transparency is definitely an issue. I, like many, do the best I can with the information at hand. I’m also not a vegetarian (although I have considered it) but also have no problem if the whole of an animal is being used.

The wording “The Rubina Wristlet is made from the finest of exotic snake embossed leather,” was confusing to me. Others have said that it is cow leather embossed to look like snake – although viewing the website I cannot find that information anywhere. I did email Sorial (they haven’t answered yet) and also called (they didn’t answer.) Knowledge never hurts!

Thank you all for your responses! I found the wording “The Rubina Wristlet is made from the finest of exotic snake embossed leather,” to be confusing. I didn’t realize it meant leather embossed to look like snake, rather than snake. I am relieved as I understand that in terms of cow leather, it is generally a byproduct of the food chain and hopefully nothing is wasted. I’m not a vegetarian or an eco-warrior, just someone trying to do the best I can by other living creatures, human or animal. It’s why I support supply chain transparency and fair-trade, although I am hardly a perfect consumer. I did email Sorial and tried calling as well with no luck. Hopefully their vegan leather line suggests their commitment to animal welfare and maybe they’ll change or elaborate the wording online to prevent further confusion.

The Rubina wristlet is not actual snakeskin it’s just leather made (imprinted) to look and feel like snakeskin. Kind of like the L.R. Clutch that was in the PSMH holiday box for her 2014. If it were real snakeskin it would cost a lot more than $49 for a wristlet. I have a few real Python heels that cost at least $1000.

As said below, the material is cow hide leather embossed (textured) with a snakeskin print. We eat and use all of the cow, nothing goes to waste, and there have been slow but significant improvements in the raising and slaughter process of the industrialized cattle industry over time. That said, the people who this video would speak to are probaldly the same people who want already not buy animal skin products, and I am surprised these comments allow videos to be posted.

Thank you for being brave enough to share that! Unfortunately a lot of cruelty is inflicted on animals, and much of it is due to consumers being unaware of such practices. As the other commenters have said, this is actually leather (which doesn’t say anything about how it is sourced). As a woman who loves boots and isn’t fond of snakes, I appreciate the information!

I watched the whole video. I don’t think I own any snake skin but I will be sure not to purchase any in the future.

But with regards to the card holder in this bag, the other commenters have said that it is leather which is imprinted to look like snake skin. I hope this is the case. It’s a beautiful piece. I also agree with the commenter who mentioned the cost. I believe the value would be much higher if it were actually reptile skin.

That video is beyond terrible. I am very against the inhumane killing of animals , or animals being killed for fashion. I used to own a chinchilla and he was the sweetest little guy, I have no idea how someone could torture him for the sake of fashion. I try my best to not use products tested on animals. I received many in sub boxes so I try to swap. I used to be a vegetarian but after having to go GF I started eating meat again but I try to only eat crualty free. It’s so expensive though. I not against butcheting animals but i think it should only be done humanly and the animal should have a good life.I just wish there were international laws passed about animal cruelty. Luckily this purse is not real snakeskin ( its way expensive).

I am always tempted to get the Popsugar box, then I see the items and am glad I didn’t. This happens every month. It pulls me in because it *seems* like a must-have box, but the products are just “nice”, never something I truly need or even want — kind of like the stuff my MIL gets me for birthdays and holidays, lol. I’m taking it off my want list for good. 🙂

Is it weird that the thing I want most is the card case? Since my blue Sorial wallet/bag won’t ever hold the entire contents of my wallet, I’ve been thinking to buy a card case to use with it so I can carry the essentials. Anyone willing to sell it for a reasonable price?

I was hoping to use the $25 coupon on a wristlet on their website, but $12 shipping is ridiculous. I’ll sell you the card carrier (when my box comes in – usually around the 16th) for the $12 I need for shipping! 😉 Let me know – crashedherparty (at) hotmail.com

I like that the Dopp kit is something that you never really see in subscription boxes so that was good to include, the pineapple card is super cute, and the card case would be handy! I already use the blueberry wipes sometimes and like them too. I haven’t ordered this box but I actually really like it. 🙂 Hmmm…

I liked it from the spoilers and now I like it more. I got my shipping notice today do I expect it sometime next week. Your cards ate adorable. I hope I get good ones. I will use every item but not the coupons.
